Brigantine "Leon"

The Bigantine “Leon” was build in 1880 in Laurvig (Norway) and was measured with 302 tons. Her homeport was Porsgrund. From October 1903 her name was “Victoria”. Later she got a schooner-rigg. She ended after 34 years in service, when she was on the way to England and got a leak in her hull (dated October 30, 1915).

The model in the scale of 1:50 is very detailed and precise. There are no damages or lacks, no plastic-parts. There is no dust on the model, because it was covered with a protective hood, which is part of the offer and a table of massive mahogany as well.
